Re: IML: 1960 Temperature Gauge

["Clint and Laurie Carter" <imperialschooner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Careful of these low-price temp guns! We bought one for the restaurant it 
does not do the job properly! I cannot get an accurate reading at all! Find 
out what your local health department (restaurant inspectors) use. They HAVE 
to be accurate.Get one that can be calibrated, too.

to at least *think* about working on it!

I would like to confirm Dave's suggestion of using the temperature gun.  As
I was flushing, cleaning, freeze plugging, and generally getting my cooling
system back to functionality, a borrowed infra-red temp. gun was invaluable.
Especially since my "lesser" Chrysler has only an idiot light.  They are
simple to use, accurate, and could be used for all kinds of temperature
readings, i.e., tranny temp., rear axle temp., brake drum temp., A/C air
duct temp., etc.

I believe they are less than $100 - and as Dave mentioned (which may force
me to purchase my own), you can use them on the bar-bee.

Just a thought,
